But it's an IDE device, and has no termination jumper. Unless... I noticed before I installed X, that the Apple System Profiler recognized the hard disk partitions, as SCSI devices, even though it's an IDE hard drive. So, with the burner plugged in, would I have to then take the termination jumper off of the factory Apple SCSI CD-ROM, even though it's the only one on the real SCSI chain?
